19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

Palestinians to reject Kerry peace plan, launch diplomatic war on Israel’
Palestinian Authority setting up teams to battle Israel in every conceivable international forum, Israeli TV report says
January 17, 2014, 9:30 pm
23
The Palestinian leadership has
reportedly decided to reject Secretary of State John Kerry’s proposals
for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal and instead launch a global
diplomatic and legal assault on Israel.The
Palestinian Authority is currently setting up teams to wage diplomatic
war against Israel in “every conceivable” forum, including pushing for
boycotts of Israel and seeking legal rulings against Israel via
international courts in The Hague, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported
Friday night.Unless Kerry significantly changes the current
formulation of his proposals, the report said, the Palestinians will
reject his overtures, confident that much of the international community
will consider them to be the injured party and hold Israel responsible
for the failure of peace efforts.The Palestinians are furious that Kerry is
offering them a state “with no borders, no capital, no [control over]
border crossings… and without Jerusalem,” the TV report said, quoting
Palestinian sources.On Jerusalem, rather than the complete control
that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is demanding over
all areas of the city captured by Israel in the 1967 war, including the
Old City, Kerry is merely offering the Palestinians a capital based in
one of the city’s outlying neighborhoods such as Isawiya, Abu Dis (where
construction of a Palestinian parliamentary building was begun in
2000), Beit Hanina or Shuafat.The TV report came a day after the former Palestinian
negotiator Nabil Shaath made plain the Palestinians’ anger with Kerry,
by publicly accusing the secretary of endorsing Israel’s demands on two
central issues in the peace talks: The recognition of Israel as a Jewish
state and a continued Israeli security presence in the Jordan Valley.
The PA has repeatedly rebuffed these two demands. “The two issues have never been in our agenda: the Jewishness of the state [of Israel] and the Jordan [Valley],” Shaath said.Palestinian
sources told AFP in early January that Abbas rebuffed pressure from
Kerry to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. They also said the
secretary was proposing a joint Israeli-Palestinian presence to control
the West Bank-Jordan border, where Israel has insisted on continued IDF
control. Abbas previously sought an international military presence on
the border, with no Israeli involvement.
Last month, the Palestinians reportedly
rejected a proposal by Kerry for an Israeli security presence in the
Jordan Valley for the first 10 years after the signing of a peace deal.Neither Kerry’s security proposals, nor his
evolving framework deal for ongoing talks, have been made public, but
leaked details indicate Israel and the Palestinians are at odds over
almost all key issues — notably including the status of Jerusalem,
Palestinian refugee demands, border demarcations, land-swap
arrangements, and security proposals. Current talks are set to end in
April; Kerry wants the framework deal inked in the near future, as a
basis for extending the talks.Last week, Abbas hardened his stance on the demand for a “right of return” for Palestinian refugees.
Israel’s
government, for its part, recently announced plans to build 1,400 new
homes over the pre-1967 lines, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused the international community of “hypocrisy” for its opposition to the expansion of existing settlements, which he said did not impede peace efforts.Netanyahu has accused the Palestinians of
being intransigent in the negotiations, while Israel has released 78
long-time Palestinian prisoners, most of them terrorists convicted of
murdering Israelis, in the course of the talks, and has agreed to free a
further group of 26 such convicts in the coming months.
All such disputes notwithstanding, the US
Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, said earlier this month that the
Kerry framework proposal would be presented soon. Kerry has made 10
visits to the region this year, and an eleventh trip is expected soon.Earlier this week, Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon was quoted accusing Kerry of pursuing an accord with an “inexplicably obsessive” and “messianic” zeal,
and describing the secretary’s security proposal as “not worth the
paper it is printed on.” Ya’alon did not deny the statements, but issued an apology. Kerry, in turn, said he would not let “one set of comments” deter him from his efforts.
UN launches Palestinian solidarity year
Israeli ambassador castigates ‘propaganda’ event, calls United Nations a ‘contractor of Palestinian theater’
January 16, 2014, 9:45 pm
3-The times of Israel
A new year has begun at the United Nations, and this one is dedicated to Palestinian solidarity.As
promised in resolution A/68/12, 2014 is The International Year of
Solidarity with the Palestinian People (IYSPP) at the United Nations.Thursday marked the official launch of the
initiative, coinciding with the 2014 session of the Committee on the
Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.Israeli ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor
lambasted the event, declaring the United Nations a “mechanism which
serves Palestinian propaganda.”“Rather than putting an end to the provocative
Palestinian campaign against Israel,” he continued in an official
statement to the media, “the UN provides a stage for these
performances.”The purpose of the event, according to the UN
website, is “to promote solidarity with the Palestinian people as a
central theme, contributing to international awareness of (a) core
themes regarding the question of Palestine, as prioritized by the
Committee, (b) obstacles to the ongoing peace process, particularly
those requiring urgent action such as settlements, Jerusalem, the
blockade of Gaza and the humanitarian situation in the occupied
Palestinian territory and; (c) mobilization of global action towards the
achievement of a comprehensive, just and lasting solution of the
question of Palestine in accordance with international law and the
relevant resolutions of the United Nations.”The resolution was adopted by the General
Assembly on November 26 2013 by 110 votes to 7, with 56 abstentions.
Australia, Canada, Israel, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, and
the United States voted against.“While Palestinians seek the UN’s solidarity,”
Prosor’s statement argued, “they continue to educate an entire
generation to hate Israel and deny the connection between the Jewish
people to their homeland. The time has come to stop this hypocrisy and
ask why there is no solidarity with the Israeli victims of terrorism and
their families.”
Liberman summons EU envoys over ‘one-sided’ policies
FM’s riposte to ambassadors from UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain comes after Israeli diplomats scolded over settlements
January 17, 2014, 11:01 am
18-The Times of Israel
Foreign Minister Avigdor
Liberman ordered his ministry Friday morning to summon the ambassadors
from the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain to Jerusalem, in order to
protest what he called “one-sided” policies against Israel.These
policies, evidently relating to Israel’s settlement-building, are
“unacceptable, and give the sense that they are just looking for ways to
blame Israel,” read a statement released Friday by Liberman’s office.Liberman also instructed his office to tell
the European ambassadors that Israel is making a major effort to enable
the talks with the Palestinians to continue, and that their countries’
policies harm the chances of reaching a settlement between the sides.The move comes a day after Israeli ambassadors
in several European capitals, including London, Rome and Paris, were
called in by their host countries to hear complaints over last week’s announcement from the Ministry of Housing and Construction that it had approved tenders for 1,400 new housing units in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.The announcement had been expected after
Israel released 26 long-serving Palestinian prisoners in late December,
part of a deal made last summer when Israeli-Palestinian peace talks
resumed.In addition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that expanding existing Jewish settlements does not impede the peace talks with the Palestinians.“I don’t think it’s an obstacle to peace at
all,” Netanyahu said at an event organized by the Government Press
Office in Jerusalem. “Because the fact is that Jews live here on this
land. I mean, what do they want, an ethnically cleansed state? They want
to uproot people? I don’t think that’s going to advance peace.”Netanyahu said the move by some EU states to summon Israeli ambassadors was hypocritical:
“The European Union called in our ambassadors
in the EU because of the construction of a few houses? When did the EU
call in the Palestinian ambassadors to complain about the incitement
that calls for Israel’s destruction? When do the Palestinian ambassadors
get called in to hear complaints about the fact that security officers
in the Palestinian security forces are participating in terrorist
attacks against innocent Israelis?”

Addressing foreign journalists and diplomats
at the event, Netanyahu also said that condemnations of Israeli
settlement expansion during the current US-brokered peace talks are
unfair, because it was known in advance that construction would continue
even during the negotiations.“We’re keeping in line exactly with the
understanding that we undertook at the beginning of the talks,” the
prime minister said, asserting that it was “clear that Israel undertook
no restraints” on construction. “That was understood,” he expressed. “So
when people tell me that these negotiations are hampered by this, [they
need to remember] that was part of the deal. Unspoken, unwritten,
informal, everybody will say that they oppose it, but it was very
clear.”
Earlier in the week, a US official denied claims that the settlement plan announcement had been coordinated with the US.

According to Housing Ministry spokesman Arik
Ben Shimon, 801 units were approved for West Bank settlements in the
latest building plans, including 227 in Efrat, 169 in Elkana and 40 in
Ariel.
In addition, Karnei Shomron would see an additional 86 units, Alfei Menashe 78, Adam 75, Beitar Illit 24, and Emanuel 102.The Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, over the Green Line, would receive another 600 units.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.Israeli, US rabbis reach ‘historic’ deal on Jewish status
Under the agreement, letters from the RCA vouching for someone’s Jewishness will be automatically accepted by Chief Rabbinate

The Chief Rabbinate of Israel
has reached an agreement with the main American Orthodox rabbinical
association to automatically accept letters from council members
vouching for the Jewish status of Israeli immigrants.The
agreement, described as “historic” in a news release Thursday from the
Rabbinical Council of America, comes after the Chief Rabbinate refused
to accept status letters from Rabbi Avi Weiss, an Orthodox rabbi and
council member who has sparked controversy for ordaining women clergy
and founding the “open Orthodox” rabbinical school Yeshivat Chovevei
Torah. The rabbinate’s refusal sparked widespread outrage, ultimately
leading it to reverse course.Under the terms of the agreement, letters
vouching for Jewishness will still be prepared by individual rabbis, but
the RCA will issue, upon request from the rabbi, a supporting document
directly to the Chief Rabbinate. The RCA endorsement will assure the
letter is accepted immediately and without question.Situations in which conversion or divorce are
involved will be reviewed by the Beth Din of America, according to the
RCA release. Rabbis who are not members of the RCA may also seek similar
endorsements.“Since the earliest days of the RCA we have
worked together with the Chief Rabbinate of Israel,” RCA President Rabbi
Leonard Matanky said in a statement. “We are proud that we can expand
that partnership to better serve our constituents and resolve issues
that might appear before the Chief Rabbinate.
